Amber Heard can’t afford to pay Johnny Depp $10.4m, as she plans her appeal

Published

on

Just when you thought the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard saga had been laid to rest, Heard has decided to appeal the decision

Millions waited with bated breath as the jury ruled in Depp’s favour awarding him $15 million in damages.

Now, Heard is “absolutely” appealing the decision.

Her lawyers say she has “excellent ground” to do so.

Heard’s main attorney, Elaine Bredehoft, says the “pro-Depp” social media wrath influenced the jury’s decision.

She also claims the TV broadcast of the trial “made it a zoo”.

“So not only did we have a group of Depp fans that were there every day — 100 were allowed in, they lined up at 1 o’clock in the morning for their wristbands to be in that courtroom — but we had everything on camera, and we had tremendous social media that was very, very, very much against Amber.”

Although the jury was told repeatedly not to read anything about the case, they have weekends, they have families, they have social media. How could they not have been influenced?”

Heard’s lawyers also claim important evidence including medical records was suppressed by Depp’s team.

They claim Heard has been wrongly done by and will now plan the appeal process.

In the verdict from Virginia, the jury found that Depp also defamed Heard when his previous lawyers labeled Heard’s claims a hoax, with the jury awarding her $2 million.

This means that Heard still owes Depp a sum of $10.4 million.

When asked about whether Heard can pay the millions in damages she now owes Depp, Bredehoft responded saying “absolutely not.”

Back in 2020, Depp previously lost a similar trial against Heard in the UK, where he was accused of assaulting Heard.

In Short:
– One victim was accidentally shot by police during a synagogue attack in Manchester on Yom Kippur.
– The assailant, Jihad Al Shamie, used a vehicle and stabbing in the attack, later killed by police.
One of the victims in the recent terror attack at a UK synagogue was accidentally killed by police during efforts to subdue the attacker.
The incident occurred on Yom Kippur outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Manchester, resulting in the deaths of Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66.
The assailant, identified as Jihad Al Shamie, a 35-year-old British citizen of Syrian descent, used his vehicle to strike pedestrians before launching a stabbing assault.Authorities revealed that police mistakenly shot one of the victims as they responded to the threat posed by Al Shamie, who was believed to be wearing a fake suicide vest.

Greater Manchester Police chief Stephen Watson noted that the victims were likely attempting to prevent the attacker from entering the synagogue. Reports indicate that a third victim hospitalized also sustained gunshot wounds during the police response.

Jihad Al Shamie was killed by police approximately seven minutes after he began the attack.

The Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, stated that the attacker was not previously known to authorities. Police continue to investigate whether Al Shamie acted alone or as part of a terrorist cell, with three individuals arrested in connection to the incident.

Family Statement

The family of the attacker has publicly condemned the violence, expressing shock and sorrow over the tragic events. They stated their intentions to distance themselves from the actions of Jihad Al Shamie and offered condolences to the victims and their families.

In Short:
– Hollywood’s entertainment industry faces a severe job decline, impacting many professionals like Brian Mainolfi.
– Proposed federal measures to revive local production have been insufficient, leaving the industry’s future uncertain.
Hollywood’s entertainment industry faces a significant downturn, with work evaporating and many creative professionals searching for new avenues to survive.

The industry has seen a sharp decline in jobs. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Los Angeles County employment in motion picture production fell from 142,000 to 100,000 in two years due to reduced movie and TV productions.

Fewer projects are moving to Los Angeles because of high costs and a lack of tax incentives compared to other regions.

The impact on local businesses dependent on production workers has been severe, contributing to a broader economic challenge in the area.

Industry Decline

The absence of steady work has led some professionals to leave the industry entirely.

Many workers, including Thomas Curley, who won an Oscar for “Whiplash,” have struggled with the loss of purpose, and job scarcity remains pervasive.

Federal measures have been proposed, including a possible tax credit to stimulate local production, but efforts have thus far been insufficient.

With the continuing effects of recent strikes and a potential shift away from traditional content consumption, the outlook for Hollywood’s future remains uncertain.
